  I think what your seeing is related to this issue:

  Are you doing a merge?

No, a persist().  Though I'm sure a merge() would do it as well.

I'm discovering that Entities from persistence unit A had better not reference in any way, shape or form Entities from persistence unit B while in flight, even if such relationships are not cascaded.  That is extremely surprising, and surely can't be the intention of the spec.

That is, if I have a Child with a many-to-one with a Parent, and if Child and Parent are from two different persistence units, then I cannot invoke persist()/flush() on the Child, even if the relationship to Parent is not cascaded.

Best,

Laird
